SUMMARY:Local Artist Spotlight: Janakey - Big River Theatre
DESCRIPTION:David Janakey cut his teeth as a folk artist in the Midwest DIY circuit\, honing his blue-collar heartbreaker in basements and bars across the frozen tundra and beyond. Then a landmark 2023 link with the Eau Claire noise rock band Gash unearthed a joyful and unholy country rock sound\, thereafter simply called Janakey. Eclectic but tried-and-true\, Janakey’s fuzzed out honky tonk recalls the classics with a dose of rock realness\, easy to love\, hard to miss\, and impossible to forget.

SUMMARY:Hiroya Tsukamoto - Big River Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Experience the spellbinding artistry of Hiroya Tsukamoto\, a Japanese-born master of fingerstyle guitar and evocative storytelling\, as he returns to Big River Theatre to perform songs from his newest album\, Rainshadow. On this latest project\, Tsukamoto uses his composing and songwriting talents to hone in on crafting compelling\, memorable\, and singable melodies. He writes\, “Through this record\, I hope you will find some melodies that resonate with you and that you end up humming in your daily life.” \n \nRecognized for his agile fingerpicking and his soulful performances\, Tsukamoto invites audiences into his world of musical exploration and emotional expression. Come witness a performer who has been celebrated for his “delicate\, fluid\, and beautifully detailed” style (Acoustic Guitar magazine)\, and for his ability to take listeners on an “impressionistic journey” (Boston Herald). \n \nTsukamoto\, an alumnus of Berklee College of Music\, has been recognized for his talents on stages such as Blue Note in New York City\, Japanese National Television (NHK)\, International Storytelling Center\, and United Nations. He scored second place at the International Fingerstyle Guitar Championship in 2018 and 2022. \n \n“Hiroya Tsukamoto may play the guitar with the skill of a virtuoso\, and he may write compelling music that draws from many different cultures and genres\, but if I had to choose one word to describe him it would be orchestrator. ” – Acoustic Guitar Magazine \n \n“Hiroya Tsukamoto takes us to an impressionistic journey ” -Boston Herald \n \n“…chops\, passion and warmth. Zealously recommended!”   -Jazz Review.com

SUMMARY:Dan Schwartz & Nick Salisbury Album Release Show - Big River Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Guitarist Dan Schwartz and bassist Nick Salisbury play diversely informed instrumentals\, formally unpredictable but always songlike\, delicate but never wispy. Longtime associates\, Schwartz and Salisbury make up half of the groovy and eclectic Neighborhood Quartet. On their debut album as a duo\, the forthcoming Gloaming\, they divide compositional duties and play together with the refinement and responsiveness that have made them busy and respected players in the Twin Cities and beyond. Schwartz has a beautiful\, singing tone; a sophisticated harmonic vocabulary; and expressive command of dynamics. Salisbury—dexterous and pocketed\, distinctive whether risk-taking or restrained—is one of the Twin Cities’ most called-on bassists and has toured extensively with songwriters Ryan Bingham and Brian Fallon. Steeped in jazz harmony but guided\, too\, by a passion for folk and R&B\, the duo’s contemplative\, easeful music and sculptural melodies are born of long experience in music and life but driven by a sustaining spirit of exploration.

SUMMARY:Heather Maloney Trio - Big River Theatre
DESCRIPTION:With over 1\,000 international shows and 8 studio albums under her belt\, she is now on the brink of releasing her 9th and most personal record to date\, “Exploding Star” (out Jan 2025)\, after which she’ll embark on an international release tour throughout the US and Europe. \nOn Heather’s 2019 album\, Soil In The Sky\, her “ability to channel emotion is radical” (PopMatters) and the tracks are stacked with special guests who help her deliver an immense range of sound and sentiment in 12 songs; there’s a duet with Dawes front-man Taylor Goldsmith and vocal harmonies by Lake Street Dive’s Rachael Price. The all-star band includes drummer Griffin Goldsmith (Dawes)\, and multiple members of the Amos Lee band.  The Bluegrass Situation called her 2015 release\, Making Me Break (produced by Band of Horses’ Bill Reynolds) “an intoxicating blend that captures the sonic texture of indie rock\, the humanity of folk and the spirituality of a Rumi poem.” In 2014 she released “Woodstock”\, her collaborative effort with Boston quartet Darlingside\, which drew praise from the New York Times and Graham Nash. \nHeather’s songs have played on NPR stations across the country and her live appearances have aired on syndicated programming like eTown and AudioTree. Her song “Nightstand Drawer” was featured in the season finale of the CBS TV series “Elementary”\, and her songs have also been streamed hundreds of thousands of times on editorial Spotify playlists & Starbucks’ in-store nationwide playlists. \nAs well as a songwriter and performer\, Heather is an illustrator and linocut artist who carves and prints visual representations of her songs on a variety of mediums. \nHeather has toured throughout the US & Canada as a headliner and also in support of acts including Anais Mitchell\, Lake Street Dive\, Shakey Graves\, Gary Clark Jr.\, Rodrigo y Gabriela\, Colin Hay (Men at Work)\, Mary Chapin Carpenter\, Shawn Colvin\, Dar Williams and many more. \n“Lyrics that cut to the chase” –Huffington Post   \n“Utterly gorgeous – visceral.” – New York Times     \n“Her not-so-secret weapon is that voice ”– Boston Globe \n“Delicious… excellent” – Graham Nash     \n“…stunning\, breathy\, and starkly memorable.” – SPIN Magazine
